The G.R.IND. on Vampyr

People have different ways to grade games: Some use the letter system; others use numbers; some prefer categories, such as excellent or bad. Similarly, people categorize games in different ways, sometimes depending on their quality, other times depending on their scale, budget and genre; Vampyr reminded me of a category I have not assigned to […]
